# Onboarding skill

> Set up communication channels and inbound handling for an existing Inkbox identity

Use `inkbox-onboarding` after you have an API key. If your agent needs an account first, start with [agent self-signup](/docs/skills/agent-self-signup).

[View the source](https://github.com/inkbox-ai/inkbox/tree/main/skills/inkbox-onboarding)

## What your agent learns

* Inspect the active identity and check email, SMS, iMessage, and call readiness separately.
* Complete the recipient's connection or consent steps before sending.
* Choose polling, signed webhooks, or both for incoming communications.
* Verify a bounded test for each requested channel.
* Offer recurring triage with an agreed schedule and explicit reply permissions.

The skill asks before provisioning numbers, enabling channels, changing routing, creating webhooks, or sending test traffic.
